S&P assesses Edison’s standalone credit rating at bbb given their view of the company as resilient to the current energy crisis with earnings adequately protected by its vertically integrated business model, strong performance in gas operations, and the growth of its contracted generation capacity. Moreover S&P considers Edison to be highly strategic to its parent and hence cap the rating of the entity at the level of EDF also recently affirmed at BBB. Their assessment of Edison as highly strategic to EDF reflects their views that Italy is a key market for EDF and that Edison is fully integrated into the group.
